Both ghost and poison types were physical types in gen 1 which means that all poison and ghost attacks do damage based on the users attack stat and opponents defence. And as we all know gengar is not the greatest of physical attackers.
But it depends on moveset. so far it doesnt look like you will be needing its attack stat much though.

I would strongly consider changing him for slowbro. Gengar has a very shoddy move pool which limits its excellent speed and special, whereas slowbro has access to amnesia, psychic, etc. So unless you're planning on using TMs on your Gengar, I would suggest slowbro instead. Also, you should take off Dragon Rage for something else. Hope this helped, and have a nice day. ^^
